Telling the Time in English

Telling the time in English can be done in a few different ways. Here are a few examples:

  • Using cardinal numbers: “It’s four o’clock.” “It’s seven thirty.”
  • Using ordinal numbers: “It’s the third of March.” “It’s the seventh of the month.”
  • Using “o’clock”: “It’s four o’clock.” “It’s half past three.”
  • Using “am” or “pm”: “It’s 4:00 am.” “It’s 4:00 pm.”

When using cardinal numbers to tell time, it’s important to note that hours are typically written as numerals and minutes are typically written as two digits (e.g. “4:05”). When telling time using “o’clock” it’s important to note that we do not use the “o'” for the hour, for example, “It’s four o’clock” instead of “It’s four o’clock o’clock”

Additionally, it’s common to use the phrase “in the morning” to refer to the time from midnight to noon, and “in the afternoon” or “in the evening” to refer to the time from noon to midnight.

It’s also important to note that when you are asking the time, you would say “What time is it?” or “Can you tell me the time, please?”

Numbers in English

In the English language, there are several ways to express numbers and quantities. Here are a few examples:

  • Cardinal numbers (e.g. one, two, three) are used to express the quantity of something.
  • Ordinal numbers (e.g. first, second, third) are used to indicate order or position in a sequence.
  • Fractions (e.g. one-half, three-quarters) are used to express quantities that are not whole numbers.
  • Decimals (e.g. 0.5, 2.3) are used to express quantities that are not whole numbers and are written as a number followed by a period and one or more digits.
  • Percentages (e.g. 50%, 75%) are used to express a quantity as a fraction of 100.

When expressing numbers, there are a few rules to keep in mind. For example, numbers under ten are spelled out when they’re used in text, however, numbers greater than ten are written as numerals. When expressing large numbers, commas are used to separate groups of three digits, starting from the right.
